Dumbing Us Down - 25th Anniversary Hardback Edition : The Hidden Curriculum of Compulsory Schooling - 25th Anniversary Edition (2nd ed)

This radical treatise on public education has been a best-seller for 10 years!

Thirty years of award-winning teaching in New York City's public schools led John Gatto to the sad conclusion that compulsory governmental schooling does little but teach young people to follow orders as cogs in the industrial machine.

In celebration of the ten-year anniversary of 'Dumbing Us Down' and to keep this classic current, the publisher has renewed the cover art, added new material about John and the impact of the book, and a new Foreword.
